Sneak Peek, Santa Paws, 2017 Holiday catty, PP358


Yes, my first order went for lots of fun images that need to be colored. I'm ok with coloring, however my reasoning is just that I love the fun images so very much!  How can one not like Santa Paws?
This is the larges of the images in the stamp set, but especially if you love dogs and cats like I do, and they are so daggon cute, what's a person to do?

I have to admit, my photo taking didn't show the best part, the gold embossing, it is just hard to make embossing shine in photos.  The pretty gold star also isn't showing well.  But I think I have an idea to improve the lighting so hopefully soon I'll be able to show those aspects better.

Love, love, love the Merry Music DSP, both white and black in the holiday songs plus some neat designs on the back sides. 
If you love these stamps, but you really don't like to color, you could just emboss in gold or? and dress up the card in other ways.  They would still be cute.
My colors for this:  Real red, Peekaboo Peach, Tranquil Tide, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake.
I gold embossed, then used my blender pen and ink pads to color in the images.

I'm playing with the Paper Players this week. Here is the challenge and link for the site. I know you will want to check on everyone else's cards, the team's card are fantastic.

Thanks for coming by to look. so, what are your thoughts on this stamp set?

Sneak peek SU Holiday catalog, JAI#373



This is one of the more minor sets in the new Holiday catalog, but when you start playing you find out just how much fun it can be.  Lots of dies in the thinlits set and that's always a big bonus.

This weeks challenge is:

Stencils are hot right now, if you haven't tried them out, you really should. They are inexpensive and a big wow.    I've left the sentiment off for now, as I am always seeming to find myself in a place where I need something and by golly, I haven't any with a sentiment that will work.  Fall sets can be used for so many different occasions.

Colors for this card are:  Lemon Lime Twist, Peekaboo Peach, Tranquil Tide and Pumpkin Pie.
